Just bought a 9600xt - sapphire 256mb
removed nvidia drivers using add/remove programs
removed nvidia card
off
installed 9600xt
on
installed drivers
Problem is the desktop is fine, anything 2d is fine, soon as I run a game I get major lockups leading to a crash, best gameplay time so far is 5 seconds on UT2003.
I haven't overclocked, and I'm not trying ridiculous resolutions or detail settings, just the same as I was using on a gf4 ti4600.
Have tried standad driver settings, and altering a few variables with no difference in the end result, I'm using the 3.8s that came with the card.
Do I have a faulty card?
Only other thing I can think is some residual nvidia registry entries or dlls, what's the easiest way to remove these without deleting necessary files but still making sure I get the lot?
I'm using an athlon 2400+ running xp pro, 8x agp mobo, latest 4in1 drivers, 1gb ram.
First time with Ati so I'm a bit lost really, card is only 1 day old so no problem returning if faulty.
Any help/thoughts gratefully received....
